Before 2012, targeting was being conducted in every region in the country. We have seven regions and we also had a small team that was located in Ottawa that was mainly doing targeting for national security reasons.
The 2007 report of the Auditor General highlighted the fact that the program needed to be more robust and needed to take into account an evolving environment around the world. We took advantage of the strategic review exercise that was launched to essentially move away from targeting that was done in all regions and centralize it in Ottawa, building a robust IT system that enables us to automatically risk assess every passenger on board aircraft and at the same time risk assess goods that are en route to Canada via the marine mode.
That brought rigour to our process and it brought uniformity into how we risk assess. We were pleased that the 2013 report of the Auditor General reflected there was a lot of improvement on that front.
